The Vernon Coalition grew out of a grass roots effort when concerned community members became mobilized following the drug overdose deaths of several young people a few years ago.
A key group of these stakehol ders approached theCenter for Prevention and Counseling (CFPC) in Newton who applied for and received a five year Drug Free Communities (DFC) federal grant enabling Vernon to establish its own community-based coalition. Over the life of these DFC programs,youth living in DFC communities have experienced reductions in alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use. The VernonCoalition will address community issues offering solutions and outcomes to effect change and growth toward a healthier population for all. CFPC hired Annmarie Shafer as Coalition Coordinator and Gemma Chalkley as Youth Coordinator.
